The Toronto Marlies split their two games in New York state, falling 5-2 to the Utica Comets on Saturday night.
The Comets came out firing, scoring just over five minutes into the first frame. But, the Marlies responded just 20 seconds later with one of their own from Alex Steeves. Both teams had plenty of chances, but the score remained tied at one after the first period.
Alex Steeves wasted no time in the second period adding his second of the game right as he came out of the penalty box. Unfortunately, that would be all for the Marlies as the undefeated Comets took over, scoring four more goals before the final buzzer. The Marlies put 26 shots on Comets’ goaltender Akira Schmid, but were unable to get more than two past him.
The Marlies will look to get back in the win column next weekend, when they head to the Windy City for a back-to-back series with the Chicago Wolves.
